In light of current restrictions, the gala team is excited to unveil some different, yet still fun and elegant plans for the 2021 Gala. We're calling it the (un)Gala and it's coming right to your home! We will see you between April 16 & May 15 for the date and style party of your choosing. Choose in-person or virtual as well as brunch, charcuterie, formal dinner, or taste of Chicago options. It's entirely up to you!

Here are a few things you need to know:

  • The 2021 (un)Gala was postponed to April and May in hopes of warmer and safer conditions. (The Gala will return to its typical timeframe on February 26th, 2022).

  • You'll get to choose from a variety of in-home experiences and food options to be delivered to your home. Gather a group of 10 or more and expect a visit from the Executive Director and a Fellowship Housing graduate. Indicate your top two date preferences during registration and our staff will reach out to confirm and coordinate your experience.

  • Prefer a more intimate socially distanced option? A live Virtual Gala will be held on Saturday, May 15th at 7pm. Choose Virtual Gala Access only with your choice of donation level OR select a one of two dinner packages to enhance your experience. Enjoy the experience with just your ‘bubble’ or host an online watch party with your friends.

  • The evening of May 15th will also mark the conclusion of the (un)Gala month and Silent Auction.

(un)Gala catering options provided in partnership with ForkIt Foods & Green Spoon Kitchen will be revealed in full when registration opens. (But you can get a tasty preview in the photos here!) Rest assured that all meals will be prepared and delivered safely with everything you need to host a great evening - whether for 2 or for 20!

While we gather in new and creative ways, one thing remains the same… We will come together once again, empowering single moms in our community to break the cycle of poverty and build a new legacy.

Registration opens in February.
